[quote name='iceonaboy' timestamp='1366191226' post='2049324'] Or "Puto" can be used [/quote] even better: puto cabron I find it amusing that this stuff does not get filtered... p**o ca***n

[quote name='iceonaboy' timestamp='1366189488' post='2049292'] "Berra" is Spanish for bitch...this is getting so confusing.. [/quote] No, that would be "perra"

[quote name='Paul S' timestamp='1366038076' post='2047558'] Goat is Capra. [/quote] That's Italian.

[quote name='John Schoen' timestamp='1366021203' post='2047284'] Cabron is Spanish for bastard. The suffix "ita" makes it a small female bastard. [/quote] Yes and no. Cabron can be translated as bastard, or asshole or many other things, in that it is used probably in the very same situations with the very same connotation. However, as it's often the case with these things, literal translations are completely different and often underwhelming. Cabra means goat. Cabron is the male goat, or a big goat. Often used as a mild insult. Or serious insult if you look stern Cabrona could be used as an insult (see above) or to indicate a large female goat. Cabronita, therefore, could be 1) an insult, but with the diminutive suffix -ita making it sound "cuter", so probably not an insult thrown in anger... or it could be 2) a large small female goat (what? nah... stick to 1) In Spain you'd use "cabrita" rather than cabronita, but I guess in Mexico they probably use cabronita. I would not be surprised it it has yet another meaning or at least a different connotation in Mexico, as often we use the same words in very different ways!

[quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1366111818' post='2048379'] A friend of mine is an engineer at a medium sized venue and got this in a band's rider. I concur. [/quote] m-key

so... technically it's not finished. I can still assemble mine before you do!!!

The idea wasn't mine... I saw another orange bass here and thought it was too sexy

That is beautiful!!!!

[quote name='SpaceChick' timestamp='1365926012' post='2045934'] I loved the suggestion of "The Mangetout experience" but now that Monkeys have been brought into to equation how about.... The Mangetout Monkeys Or (Having learned Spanish a bit where I'm quite sure Monkey is Mono) The Mono Mangetout? However, that implies you may never have a stereo sound.... Oh this is too hard.... I'll get my coat! [/quote] The Mangetout Monkeys has a ring to it...

Looks like a nice bass, I really like the Streamer design. If the neck on that one is nice (I've tried some delicious and some incredibly uncomfortable Warwicks) it seems like a decent deal.

[quote name='chaypup' timestamp='1365883657' post='2045700'] Ah yes, sorry I should have qualified where it was used. [size=4] Is there a word for South/Central American Spanish? Latin Amerispanish maybe?[/size] [/quote] in my comprehensive (3min? ) research, it seemed it was common in Northern Argentina and also in Mexico... and it was used in a variety of ways. It's always good to know. I had meant to ask you what a superchango was, now I have an idea How did your band's name name come about?

[quote name='bagsieblue' timestamp='1365882097' post='2045656'] One of the early German budget ranges? - Streamer Standard. One piece bridge, Carolena body, a precursor to the Rockbass but they were made in Germany - not bad basses really. [/quote] really? wow, you learn something everyday. I had no idea there was a budget line of Warwick Streamer that were made in Germany. I thought the budget line started with the Rockbass!

[quote name='Huw Foster' timestamp='1365808114' post='2044940'] [media]http://youtu.be/gZehS6m-P9Y[/media] Another new one... Got some free time at the moment so I'm just enjoying being able to play! [/quote] YOU!!! I am pretty sure it was a video of you playing that Precision that made me think for the very first time "hmmm, P basses can sound really good!" And if it weren't you, this video does it again x10. Lovely playing and beautiful tone, thank you for posting this!

I googled chango, and now I am suitably enlightened (definitely not in use in Spain)... but I also found other meanings. In particular, I loved this entry from the urban dictionary: [quote] A school that is part of Shenendehowa. Even though it's only an elementary school, it still has cliques. Cliques include: Popular kids: A bunch of immature snot nosed f***wits who think they own everything in the school. Goths: A bunch of kids who masturbate to Good Charlotte, whilst slitting their wrists. Wiggers: A bunch of kids who are white, but they think they are black. Weird kids/nerds: The group of kids who look normal, but act "weird" according to the popular kids. This the group I was placed in. Normal kids: Nothing special about them. The teachers are mainly nice, but one of the gym teachers owns a riced out Scion xB. In short, it's an okay school. Not the best, but okay. [/quote]

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1365874862' post='2045546'] Then the band should be called 'Monkey McMonkey & The Chunky Spunkers'. See? That doesn't use the 'F'-word. [/quote] Milty!!!! See what you did???

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1365874710' post='2045541'] ...for monkey? [/quote] I've been called that...

[quote name='chaypup' timestamp='1365872185' post='2045486'] [url="http://s1262.photobucket.com/user/chaylockyer/media/ChangoWebButton_zps8f863a4c.png.html"][/url] How many points do we get? (Chango is Spanish for monkey...) [/quote] I had you in mind when I wrote "or logo" Chango is monkey? In what country? (just curious, I am from Spain... but there are quite a lot of different words in the spanish we use in Spain or Argentina, Bolivia... sometimes with hilarious consequences )

[quote name='Ghost_Bass' timestamp='1365788017' post='2044639'] This thread is like deja vu! My band (also soul/funk) had the same dilemma when we started, first name chosen was FUNKIT (already named here by someone) and there was the chance to play around with the words and make it FUN KIT (also mentioned here). In the end we decided to quit the FUNK or SOUL word games and we simply became GROOVES. What's funny about this thread is that i read the names of a lot of funk/soul bands that are actually playing right now here in Portugal, from memory i recal FUNKENSTEIN, FUNK OFF, FUNK U... there's really no much more room left for funk band names... stop thinking about it and call yourselfs a different thing. From your OP i would say "THE CATS". Cheers [/quote] indeed, leaving the word funk out is the safest bet... almost any combination with funk in it has already been used, and if it hasn't, there's usually a good reason for it!

erm... what do you think? [url="http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/warwick-streamer-bass-for-sale/1008675626"]http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/warwick-streamer-bass-for-sale/1008675626[/url]

you are discussing the wrong point. It's not whether 15" or 18" can produce enough treble... the question is... who is going to carry my cabs??? The 2x 15" I tried might as well have been part of Stonehenge!

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1365783566' post='2044553'] Well go like their facebook page then! [/quote] well, I got curious and checked them... I like it!

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1365772967' post='2044292'] Yes! It's settled then, your new band is called The Funk Brass Monkeys [/quote] No, we only established that if you have monkeys, you get more points

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1365772800' post='2044286'] I ran my Ashdown 400 watt head through a couple of 4ohm 15" cabs a couple of times, and it had loads of volume and movement of air, and house-shakingly bassy, but there was absolutely no clarity to the higher notes. The speakers weren't the best you could buy, and the cab was home made out of MDF, so all in all, probably not great for what i was using it for, but if you had a decent neo 15" and a good cabinet, and pair that with a 4x10, it would probably sound rocking! I have no idea how an 18" would sound, but it was the idiocy of the guys argument. He liked distortion because it cuts the low end, but he also wanted to use 18" speakers... How stupid can one person be? [/quote] I moved past that idiot, I don't care about him I just want a cab with two 15" or two 18". The two 15" cab I tried, an old Peavey of some description, did not lack treble, at least not to the levels I normally want.
